Bookworms and gamer girls marry in style in New York

Bookworms and gamer girls marry in style in New York

We wanted the wedding to have vintage/library feel. Our escort cards were library due date cards and the centerpieces were books on the bottom with a lamp on top from IKEA. We came up with the decoration for everything and kept the tables as exposed woods to bring the vintage feel out — the venue sold itself! We placed books on the fireplace mantle and above all, since our wedding was also on Pride Day for NYC, we provided our guests with pride ribbons to wear upon arrival.

Marcus and Rigo are comic book super fans and it showed in their spectacular comic book themed microwedding.

Even their programs had a caricature illustration done of the two of them to look like a comic book cover. Don’t miss the superhero-themed sweets table, taco bar buffet (with rosemart margaritas!), and their unity margarita ceremony.

DIY for days at this laid-back Pennsylvania wedding on a working farm

Molly and Clement’s amazing laid-back Pennsylvania wedding was at a working farm, Mountain Dale farm in Central Pennsylvania. It was a full-on DIYed event with decor make by Molly, found from thrift stores and exchanges. Think flag garlands, silk flower garlands, old map signs, and real flowers provided by friends and family. Don’t miss the “event barn” that featured knickknacks, old furniture, the DIYed photo booth, and so much more.
